What Is an Occupational Health and Safety Audit?
An OHS audit is a systematic review of an organisation’s safety policies, processes, records and implementation practices against agreed audit criteria. It can help management understand strengths, gaps and priorities for improvement. Audit findings support decision-making; they do not, by themselves, guarantee legal compliance or an incident-free workplace.
Why Organisations Commission OHS Audits
A structured audit can provide an objective view of workplace risk controls, leadership arrangements, employee participation, contractor oversight, incident learning and management-system performance. Organisations may use findings to prioritise corrective actions, prepare for client assessments or improve internal governance.
Our OHS Audit Scope
Audit scope is agreed for each engagement and may cover:
- Safety policy and responsibilities
- Hazard identification and risk assessments
- Legal and other requirements registers
- Work permits and high-risk activities

- Incident and near-miss processes
- Emergency preparedness
- Occupational health arrangements
- Training and competence records
- PPE and welfare
- Machinery and electrical safety

- Ergonomics and housekeeping
- Internal inspections
- Corrective-action tracking

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the purpose of an OHS audit?
To evaluate workplace health and safety arrangements against agreed criteria and identify opportunities for improvement.
Is an OHS audit the same as ISO 45001 certification?
No. A consultancy or internal-style audit is not accredited certification. Certification requires an appropriate certification body and process.
Can an audit be customised for different industries?
Yes. Scope and criteria can be tailored to the organisation’s operations, risks and jurisdiction.
Do audits include site visits?
Site observations may be included where agreed and feasible. The proposal specifies whether the engagement is onsite, remote or hybrid.
Will an audit guarantee compliance?
No. An audit provides findings based on agreed criteria and sampled evidence; the organisation remains responsible for compliance and implementation.
What will our company receive?
Deliverables are agreed in advance and may include an audit report, prioritised findings and recommended improvement actions.
Can multinational organisations request support?
Yes. International enquiries are welcome. Local regulatory scope, resources and delivery arrangements are determined for each engagement.
